If you’ve been struggling to keep your kids learning and entertained while they whine “I’m bored”, “can I watch TV?” or “will you play with me?” as you work from home and attempt to get some quiet time and keep the entire house (along with your sanity) together, today’s post is for you!
When social distancing began and rumors started trickling in about schools potentially closing for the remainder of the year, we made the decision to stock up on arts, crafts and other activities to keep our sweet little 6-year-old daughter happy and occupied. We committed to the idea of giving her 1 new craft project every other day for as long as we were ordered to shelter in place and spend out days indoors. These came in particularly handy as the first 2 weeks didn’t involve school lesson plans and parents were left to figure out a homeschooling curriculum on their own. As soon as Lily wakes up (which is usually between 5:30am-6:30am), we give her a craft first thing to start the day along with breakfast so we each have quiet ‘work from home’ time before her online distance learning class begins. It’s been such a fun way to break up the day and gives her something to look forward to.
I’m sharing the top 22 kids craft projects & activities that we have purchased online for her, revealing which ones have been her favorite so far. I’m breaking them down into 2 parts: girls crafts and then the remainder of unisex crafts (these fit the age 5-10 category)
